Pedestrian Accident

The Motor Vehicle Act sets out the legal rights and duties governing motor vehicles and pedestrians in car accident situations. However, because the injuries sustained by pedestrians hit by cars can be catastrophic, the law imposes special duties on drivers to avoid colliding with pedestrians, even at night or in a jaywalking situation.

After a pedestrian crash, critical evidence is often lost while the pedestrian is in the hospital or at home trying to recover from serious injury. As experienced personal injury lawyers, Metrotown Law Group can help gather and preserve important evidence that supports the victim’s right to compensation. ICBC has no interest in gathering evidence as they will often rely on the driver’s statement as a way to reduce or deny the pedestrian’s right to compensation.

At Metrotown Law Group, we handle all types of car accident injury claims, including those involving pedestrians. If you are involved in a pedestrian accident, whether in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond or Surrey, call the personal injury lawyers at Metrotown Law Group. We will make sure your rights are protected.

90% of our cases settle without a trial. But the willingness, skill and ability to take your case
to trial determines what you get in settlement. That is why people with a lawyer often get 3 and ? times the compensation as compared to people with a similar case who try to act on their own. The
fact is: Without a lawyer, the insurance company (or the person who victimized you) does not believe you can take your case to trial. Therefore, they have nothing to lose by giving you a “low-ball”
offer and saying “Take it or leave it”. Without a lawyer, it is more likely than not that a person will take whatever the insurance company or victimizer offers. At Metrotown Law Group, we will take
your case to trial. That is how we get the best settlements. They know it, and you can count on it.

ICBC does not want you to hire a lawyer. Why? Because insurance companies know they’ll have to pay a larger, fairer settlement amount! The Insurance Research Council found that the settlement figure was 3 and ½ times higher for claimants represented by lawyers. Statistics prove you benefit. Talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer after your car accident. Don’t deal with ICBC alone. Hide
